The result of Spearman rho test showed p=0,024 and r=0,328 which meant that there was association between mental status and social interaction capacity at medium strength and positive correlation direction. Conclusion: There was association between mental status and social interaction capacity of the elderly at Sukodadi Community Health Center, Lamongan District.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus causes neuropathy and abnormalities in blood vessels that cause changes in the skin and muscles, making it easier for gangrene to occur. Gangrene wounds that are left untreated or treated inappropriately can spread and increase the risk of amputation and death. Proper gangrene wound care is needed to speed up the healing process and prevent the wound from getting worse. Diabetes mellitus patients with wound gangrene need the help of other people (family) to carry out independent care at home. So that, the ability of the family to carry out proper care is needed.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that requires self-care to improve the quality of life and reduce the occurrence of complications. Self-care behaviors that can be applied by DM patients include physical activity, diet regulation, control of blood glucose levels, treatment, and prevention of complications. The purpose of this literature review is to describe self-care behavior in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients. Methods: Literature Review using the PICOT framework from several databases (Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Research Gate and Pubmed). The search results are displayed in the PRISMA. Abstracts and full articles were assessed for eligibility (n = 34), The articles correspond to research feasibility in quantitative studies (n = 12). Results: After collecting data, all data were selected according to the inclusion. Based on a review article, the self-care regimen for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients generally includes physical activity, diet, controlling blood glucose levels, monitoring blood glucose and medication. However, most of the respondents compliance with self-care management behavior in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients has not been carried out optimally. Conclusions: The role of nurses is important in increasing adherence to self-care behavior in Diabetes Mellitus patients.
